Intruder Arrested at Ellen DeGeneres’ House

February 15, 2011 By 1 Comment

A female intruder was arrested for trespassing on the property of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Creepy, right? Wow, I hope Ellen packs the heat. The woman accused of illegally setting foot on the couple’s Beverly Hills property has been charged with a misdemeanor. TMZ is reporting that the intruder – Karen Sjoden – is facing one trespassing count for entering the couple’s property.

Karen Sjoden just pled not guilty to misdemeanor trespassing in an L.A. courtroom. During the hearing, prosecutors claimed she was carrying a list of celebrity names — and a rambling letter to Hilary Clinton — when a private security team took her into custody around 5 AM Thursday morning.

Their property is protected by a 24-hour security team that detected and detained the intruder until she was turned over to the custody of Beverly Hills police officers, who arrested her. She never made contact with DeGeneres or de Rossi. If convicted, Sjoden could spend six months in jail and pay as much as $1000 in fines.

This is further proof that no matter how many ant & roach traps you set out, some pests always manage to slip through. At least she didn’t have a gun, just a loose screw… Or two.

Portia de Rossi’s Battle with Anorexia

November 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Actress Portia de Rossi has published her first book, a memoir entitled: ‘Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain.’

The memoir chronicles the ‘Arrested Devlopment’ star’s battle with anorexia and coming to terms with her sexual identity after landing her first major role on the television show ‘Ally McBeal’.

Via Popeater:

“I didn’t think I was crazy to only eat 300 calories a day. That made perfect sense to me…My struggle with anorexia, coming to terms with my sexuality, I realized I had struggled with self-acceptance my whole life. To be able to get to a point where you’re just happy with who you are, I think that’s when you know what real peace feels like.”

de Rossi also sat down with her wife, Ellen DeGeneres, and talk show legend Oprah Winfrey to discuss her battle.

Portia de Rossi Changes Her Name

August 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Portia de Rossi is legally changing her name again. Instead of Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, she will be adopting her wife’s last name. According to TMZ, after marrying Ellen DeGeneres she is legally changing her name to Portia Lee James DeGeneres or Portia DeGeneres if you are lazy.

From hence forth, please forget that she was ever named Amanda Lee Rogers or Portia de Rossi. I am completely torn in this name change. To go from Amanda Lee Rogers (which sounds like the name of Mister McFeely and Mister Roger’s adopted Malaysian daughter) to Portia de Rossi (which sounds like the name of a boxed wine or bottle of perfume Aunt Yetta got you for Chanukah) and then to Portia DeGeneres seems like an identity crisis.
